Thai red prawn curry

Remember those pots of flavour that my friend gave me? Well, the next one I tried was the red prawn curry.

So, apart from the rice on the side, for the stew itself I needed to have this on hand: olive oil, peppers, coconut milk, tomatoes, prawns. Optional ingredients were basil leaves, 1 tbsp sugar and 1 lime. I should have used only half of the coconut milk, my prawns were swimming in the liquid!

Very easy! And because it’s cooked in coconut milk, there’s not much worry which ingredient should go in first (it can be opted not to saute the garlic and onion)–one can just throw in everything together into the cooking pot.

I am so ashamed to admit that the prawns had been bought cooked and peeled 😅 (hides in sooooo much shame 😭). Inconceivable back home, I’d be condemned 😭 But yes, it was delicious! 🙂 (I should mention that if this were back home people would just throw in the prawns with the shells–it adds flavour!) Enjoy your weekend, Dana ♥
